What is Chemical, Physical, and Biological
Name the 3 pigments of skin
What is Melanin, Carotene, and Hemoglobin
Non-cancerous and no not metastasize
What is Benign
Muscle cells contain _________ and is made up of actin and myosin proteins that bring about muscle contraction
What is Myofilaments
Tissue damage caused by heat, electricity, radiation, and certain chemicals causes protein to
What is Denature
Epidermis contains _________ _____ and dermis layer of _______ to engulf foreign cells/substances and can activate an immune response
What is Dendritic and Macrophages
Skin type has lower levels of melanin
What is Hemoglobin
Highly metastatic and resistant to chemotherapy (Most dangerous)
What is Melanoma
The function of this muscle type is voluntary; locomotion
What is Skeletal muscle
Use __ _ ___ to evaluate burns by the volume of fluid loss
Rule of Nines
Body temperature and sweat gland activity increases and blood vessels in the dermis dilate; produces sweat to cool body down
What is Sensible perspiration
Patient comes in with blue colored skin
What is Cyanosis
Depresses our immune system and potentially alters our DNA that may lead to skin cancer
What is Sun Exposure
Known as supporting cells: insulate, and protect the neurons
What is Neuroglia ( Glial cells)
This degree of burn damages epidermis and dermis; redness, edema, pain, and blisters (little to no scarring)
What is Second Degree
Exposure to colder temperatures will cause the dermis blood vessels to ______ and redirect heat internally
What is Constrict
Comes from melanocytes and is responsible for skin, hair, and eye color
What is Melanin
UV light destroys and is necessary for DNA synthesis ( insufficient folic acid is dangerous for embryotic development)
What is Folic Acid
This membrane protects organs from friction by secreting fluids and helps organs remain in place. Lines the body's cavity walls and covers internal organs.
What is Serous?
This degree of burn causes damage to sensory receptors (Epi and Dermis completely destroyed)
What is Third Degree
Name all the functions of skin
What is Protection, Body Temp. Regulation, Cutaneous sensations, Metabolic functions, Blood reservoir (5%), and Excretion of wastes
This pigment can be converted to vitamin A for vision and epidermal health
What is Carotene
The appearance of this type of skin cancer may involve bleeding, oozing, crust, reddish, shiny, bumpy and/or scar-like
What is Basal Cell Carcinoma
(STEP) Occurs in tissue repair: Clot by granulation tissue, fibroblast produce collagen, macrophages eat dead cells, and epithelial cells multiply and cover granulation tissue
What is Organization restores blood supply (STEP 2)
What is it called if 10% of the body has third-degree burns
What is Critical?
